I read in Boy’s Life magazine the following dialogue/funny story (joke). Since this funny story made me smile, I
thought why not share it.
Three boys walked into
a candy shop. “The first one asked for 10 jellybeans. The jellybeans
were in the top shelf, so the cashier
got out the ladder, took down the jar, and counted out 10 jellybeans. He put the jar back on the top shelf, and
asked the next boy what he wanted. The
boy also asked for 10 jellybeans. The
old man took out the ladder again, got the jar, and counted out 10 more
jellybeans. Before he put the jar back
on the top shelf, he asked the last boy, “Do you want 10 jellybeans too? The boy shook
his head. So the cashier put the jar
away. Then he asked the last boy what he
wanted. I wanted five jellybeans he said.” Sent by Samuel Backes, Box Elder, S.D.
